Assuming quarterback is the most important position in the NFL, what's #2?

Pick a specific position (other than QB) and you can be very specific like picking a DE in a 4-3 or OLB in a 3-4.

QB Coach.

wrong ,wrong , wrong you are all wrong. The fact is.. as much as we all like the sexy high profile positions etc and wax on and on about tactics etc...the Kicker is and always has been the most important position. They still score the most points. And there is less of them then there are of QBs. It is a highly specialized position now. In the past it was the best or most versatile player on the field. Now,he Is the relief pitcher that has to succeed or else. Tebow and Sanchez would have been cut on day one if they were kickers.
